Ascents of Gorilla My Dreams DS as Clean

TR after failing at the bottom. Cool cool route. Worth three stars. Nice move down low with the right hip in and a right hand gaston on small crimpy flake. Launched for the RH jug at the start. The LH cross at the end is a cool cool move, and you can launch for the final jug from there too. At the LH cross you can lock your RH fingers in and go as high as you can with the L hand. Higher feet at that point helps too.

Forgot that I'd done this before. Very nice route, has some very cool moves in it. TR only.

Nice sustained jug haul.

It'd be a fair way to the first bolt on lead...

Warm up.

Enjoyable enough, the glued hold on top isn't very nice though.

Reminds me of fascination which reminds me of muesli. (Gently overhanging left facing flake with plenty of side pulling.)

1 sit on the first try, got it 2nd go. Rattly flake down low a little concerning, learnt quickly how to climb without touching it.

More training for a lead ascent.

Another lap.

It's been a solid 6 months since I've climbed this (last time was on lead and took a mega fall from the top). Did it clean on top rope today. Feeling a lot stronger on it. Another lead attempt at this is in the near future! One of the best climbs at Mori!

One last ascent to pick up the gear.

Self belay while I waited for the others.

variable rock quality, steep exit

Excellent
